๐จโ๐ณ ์กฐ๋ฆฌ๋ฒ
- 1
Prepare the dried fish by soaking it in water overnight to rehydrate and remove excess salt. Drain, rinse, debone, and cut into manageable pieces.
- 2
Heat the palm oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sautรฉ until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add the minced garlic and chopped chili peppers to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the prepared dried fish pieces to the pot and sear them lightly for a few minutes.
- 5
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes until they begin to break down.
- 6
Add the sliced bananas, chopped spinach, and sliced okra to the pot. Pour in the water, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for at least 1 hour, or until the bananas have softened and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The stew should have a thick, rich consistency. Serve hot, traditionally with funge (cassava porridge) or rice.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ
- โEnsure the bananas are ripe but not overly mushy for the best texture.
- โIf dried fish is unavailable, you can substitute with salted cod or even a firm white fish, adjusting the salt accordingly.
- โFor a vegetarian version, omit the fish and consider adding more vegetables or firm tofu.
